Although Steam always has sales during the week, with a new deal each day or the midweek madness and even the weekend sale, those can't compare to the two major offers they have during the summer and in the Holiday season.

This year, after much anticipation, the summer sale finally began on Thursday, July 11, and will last for 11 days until July 22. It all began at 1:00 p.m. EDT when the Steam website started crashing. After 15 minutes reloading the page, the official sale was on, and we could finally be a part of gaming heaven.
